Box Office: Elizabeth Holmes movie ‘You Can See Everything’ is now a hit in theaters too

North American movie theaters experienced a surge of new releases this weekend, with a documentary at the forefront. "You Can See Everything," a three-hour film about disgraced entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes, topped the box office with an extraordinary $15 million from just 855 screens. Over 2,000 sellout showings were reported, marking the biggest opening for a film playing on under 1,000 screens since "Borat" in 2006.

The documentary, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, drew a largely youthful crowd, with 70% of attendees under the age of 35. Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, boasting 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and 99 on Metacritic, alongside a 91% "definite recommend" rating from audiences. Despite its unconventional format, the film's director and subject proved to be major draws, with Fielder known for his unconventional comedy and Holmes being a figure too bizarre to be fabricated.

"Street Fighter" maintained its spot at the top of the chart, earning $31 million from 3,575 theaters, while "Whalefall," a $60 million survival thriller, struggled with a $8 million opening.
